More National Recognition!

Published: 01 February 2016

I am delighted to announce that the British Council have awarded the school an award for our work on democracy. We are only 1 of 60 schools nationally to receive the Discovering Democracy Award and the only school in Cornwall. This is a recognition of the work students have been doing in PHSCE, the work of our student council and year councils, our participation in the Youth Parliament elections, our mock general election in May and our visit from Lord Teverson before Christmas. We also have been able to secure a visit for students to the Houses of Parliament after Easter.

Democracy is an important element of British life and one of our co-operative values so we are thrilled that we have been acknowledged as one of the country's leading schools in promoting its importance.

This award comes on the back of us being the first school in Cornwall to achieve the new Gold Arts Award and our invite to be 1 of only 12 schools nationally to take part in this year's Parliamentary Review.
